Chapter 14672 Let's Go All Out
But Ling Xiao ultimately managed to block this deadly sword strike!
A genuine look of surprise, even disbelief, finally flashed across Luo Qiu's eyes. The speed of this sword strike was almost at the limit of his low-level World Lord days, yet it was intercepted by a mere Emperor Realm Level 3 brat in such an instinctive manner?
However, in that instant of surprise, Ling Xiao's rebounding sword suddenly slashed through a strange semicircle, the blade trembling and emitting a shrill hum.
Completely disregarding his own vulnerability, his life essence burning, and his sword wrapped in a layer of black and red poisonous light and shockwave, he stabbed Luo Qiu in the throat with a resolute attitude of mutual destruction!
Luo Qiu's reaction speed was fast enough to decapitate Ling Xiao with a single sword strike, but he didn't. At the critical moment, his figure flickered, appearing a thousand feet away as if by teleportation, avoiding this desperate attack.
The room was deathly silent.
Ling Xiao stood there, the sword wound on his throat deepening, blood gushing out and staining his chest red.
His protective aura and powerful physique ultimately failed to completely block Luo Qiu's sword energy. If the opponent hadn't withdrawn his strength at the last moment, he would already be decapitated.
However, if Luo Qiu did not dodge, the potent poison and shockwave contained in Ling Xiao's sword would be enough to penetrate his protective aura and create a bloody hole in his neck.
Ling Xiao dared to gamble like this because he was certain that Luo Qiu was of noble status and had a bright future, and would never trade his life for his own with someone who was "about to die".
Luo Qiu looked at Ling Xiao with a complicated expression and slowly said, "I underestimated your decisiveness and ruthlessness."
Despite a clear advantage in cultivation level, he lost the initiative by retreating, and strictly speaking, he had already fallen behind in this round of combat. This forced him to re-evaluate the young man before him.
This temperament and courage are more terrifying than his talent.
"You truly are... a prodigy." This was already the umpteenth time Luo Qiu had given such high praise.
Yun Yin, standing to the side, was deeply shocked. He knew all too well how high his junior nephew's standards were. He rarely praised the most outstanding talents in the sect, yet he had repeatedly affirmed a young man from the opposing camp, which was enough to demonstrate Ling Xiao's extraordinary nature.
Luo Qiu suddenly changed the subject, her tone softening somewhat:
"If you are willing to hand over the 'Demon Lord Black Sky Sword', I can guarantee that I will lead you into the Sword Star Holy Hall and directly grant you the position of Deputy Hall Master of the Guardian Hall. The sect's resources will be fully invested, and in the future... you may not be able to compete for the position of Holy Son."
Deputy Head of the Dharma Protectorate! The Position of Holy Son!
Yun Yin was shocked again. This was the best treatment the Sword Star Holy Hall could offer! As a core genius that the sect was focusing on cultivating, Luo Qiu certainly had the weight to recommend him, which was enough to show how much he valued Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao, standing some distance away, merely chuckled, shrugged, and said with a "helpless" expression, "Senior, do you really think that treasure is on me?"
Luo Qiu's gaze was like a sword, piercing straight to the heavens:
"Now that things have come to this, why pretend anymore? The Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword is an ancient treasure. If it didn't have the opportunity and spirituality, why would it cooperate with you in that 'disappearing into thin air' act? If it didn't recognize you as its master, you would have already died in the starry sea outside the Broken Boundary Mountain and become a skeleton in a tomb."
"It really isn't my fault!" Ling Xiao sighed, his sincerity almost overflowing, but inwardly he sneered. He absolutely refused to take the blame.
The last trace of relief in Luo Qiu's eyes faded, and a chilling killing intent spread throughout the space like a cold wave. A vast and abyss-like pressure once again enveloped the heavens and earth, and even the howling yin wind became stagnant.
Ling Xiao's face darkened, his tone laced with sarcasm: "So you're finally going to kill me? Even knowing that the sword might not be on me, you still want to kill me?"
"Let's stop this pointless probing."
Luo Qiu shook his head, his tone unwavering, "Whether the treasure is in your hands or not, you cannot keep it. Your talent, temperament, methods, and this strange fortune—if you are not eliminated today, you will surely become a major threat to my Sword Star Holy Hall in the future!"
The killing intent was no longer concealed; it was chilling and bone-chilling, as if it had frozen the entire starry sky into an ice prison.
Luo Qiu slowly raised his hand, and a gray light quietly gathered in his palm.
At first glance, this gray light appeared extremely small, yet it seemed to contain a miniature universe on the verge of extinction, emanating a terrifying aura that caused space to collapse and the laws of nature to wail.
As the gray light swirled, countless black cracks began to appear in the space of the Snowfield Divine Palace ruins, like shattered glass, ready to collapse completely at any moment.
In the distance, Ling Xiao slowly closed his eyes. Within his body, the demonic bloodline, dormant for so long and imbued with a violent and ominous aura, began to surge and boil like an awakening volcano.
Every inch of flesh and blood trembled, every vein burned, and a desire to destroy everything grew wildly in his heart.
The time to fight tooth and nail has come.
His greatest reliance, besides those few life-saving trump cards, is the blood of the demon god that originated from the demon needle and which even he himself could not fully control!
Once he fully unleashes his demonic bloodline, combined with his demonic avatar which he has not yet fully mastered, his strength will increase several times over, enough to rival a high-level world lord.
But the price is that he will fall into a semi-out-of-control state, his reason will be devoured by the violent demonic intent, and he himself does not know what he will become in the end.
Therefore, he kept this trump card to himself and would never use it unless absolutely necessary.
But at the moment.
You're about to lose your life, what's the point of pressing down on anything else!
The gray light in Luo Qiu's palm trembled more violently, reaching its peak. He looked at Ling Xiao, his eyes filled with only cold determination, his killing move about to be unleashed.
Just then, Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes!
Deep within his eyes, a strange, dark golden-blooded hue spread wildly, instantly filling his entire pupil. He grinned, revealing an almost crazed smile, his voice hoarse yet carrying a violent will that could shake the heavens and earth:
"Come on...!"
"Let's see who dies first today!!"
boom.!!!
The overwhelming dark gold blood energy was like the collapse of an ancient demon abyss, bursting forth with an aura of destruction and rage, instantly staining the entire gray and desolate starry sky red!
Within the blood energy, it seemed as if countless ancient demons were roaring and howling, their terrifying will soaring into the sky, actually forcibly repelling Luo Qiu's killing intent that had frozen heaven and earth!
Even Yun Yin, who was some distance away, had a drastic change in expression, his eyes flashing with horror: "This is... the bloodline of a demon god?!"
This is Ling Xiao's last trump card, and also his most uncontrollable one.
At this moment, he had no other choice but to use demons as his blade and blood as his weapon to fight his way out!
Fight!
The moment the soul shackles he had personally laid were forcibly broken by a violent force, Ling Xiao felt a loud "boom" in his mind, as if something that had imprisoned him for a long time had been completely broken!
Immediately afterwards, a torrent of violence filled with ancient savagery and the purest desire for destruction roared out from the deepest part of his bloodline!
The torrent, like a ferocious beast breaking free from its seal, swept through his limbs and bones in an instant. Wherever it passed, his meridians bulged and his bones creaked, almost completely destroying his last dam of reason!
